Leveling to 100 and defeating the most difficult challenges Diablo 4 has to offer is no easy feat. In this video I describe how to build your defenses, stack the right stats, gems and legendary aspects and what else to do in order to have an easier time surviving on higher difficulties. Good luck!

    Stack crit damage, crit chance, vulnerable damage and get a high dps weapon. All other stuff is additive. Builds without vulnerable are subpar in the games current state. Skill tree and paragon legendaries are also often multiplicative and therefore have a lot of value. Saves you a video!

Having a hard time finding any good gear replacements at this level but hopefully I can find some more DR gear in the near future. I almost never see any DR on gear, crazy that you have literally 3-4 DR stat stacks on some pieces lol.

    After watching this video, I prioritized survival stats (% Damage Reduction and % Total Armor, specifically) over even Dexterity and various damage stats on my Twisting Blades Rogue. I got two upgrades: a chest piece with four defensive stats (%DR vs. Close, %DR vs. Distant, %DR, and %Armor) and an amulet with the same stats, except Energy Cost Reduction instead of %DR vs. Distant. Those two pieces, while costing me 1k Attack Power, actually allowed me to jump from doing mid-50s Nightmare Dungeons to high-60s with ease! And it makes perfect sense: since you don't have to race a timer the way you did in D3's Greater Rifts, you will clear any Nightmare Dungeons if you just don't die. In other words: dead rogues deal less damage, even if they burst harder while alive. Thank you for this video, because it got me out of the D3 mindset that I needed to maximize damage on every piece possible; being a glass cannon is not the way to go in D4!

    Im not at level 100 or anything, but temerity seems pretty good if you use the modifier for damage bonus while barriered as an aspect and have an appropriate amount of healing. As a barb with the 3 shouts giving 3% life/sec each, im basically barried all the time, so its a huge damage boost too.

    @@jlandejr You are right. However with 4 slots for weapons on Barb + amulet you are running out of options for offensive aspects. I think I might start to run defensive/utility aspect on my amulet. Drop the temerity and conceited all together.

    Great video! If I wanna push high-tier nightmare dungeons, is total armor% better or damage reduction% better? I have two chest pieces, one with 10% damage reduction, and the other with 10% total armor. As I understand, the damage reduction each armor point provides decreases as the lvl gap between me and the mobs increases right? So at 90+ tiers where mobs are 44+ lvls higher than me, damage reduction could be better?

    What gems would you use on sorc? Sorc has plenty unstoppable. Should I still use topaz?
